Re: Open readings

["kenneth w. hoffmann" <onyx02@sprynet.com>]

sounds good.  i must warn you, i really don't know much about the Man.
While working on my thesis, which deals with German war narratives, I
stumbled over Storm of Steel.  I knew I found something good.  Honesty,
Poetry, Glory in Death, Comradery.  All the things that make a good
arm-deodorant comercial.

The hardest thing for me is finding translations in english (meine deutsche
ist nicht so gut)
it takes me a good hour to decipher a page or two.

All this intellectual jargon is fascinating, but as I am rather new to his
literary works, I have little input.
